I own one of those pillows you purchase from a place like Sharper Image- you know, the ones where you can press your hand down on it and it will leave an image of your hand impression. I don't know what the material is called, but it is the most comfortable pillow I've ever slept on.
Liz has hers and it is filled with goose down. Every now and then one of those tiny feathers will poke out and prick me. It surprisingly hurts when it catches you just right. (There's definitely a mock there, but I'm moving on...)
Remember a few years ago when those pillows that were stuffed with some type of seeds were popular? I purchased one and couldn't stand it. Some type of husk or seed. Not comfortable but sure looked like they would be on TV. Now? They're no where to be seen.
My complaint with pillows is when you are a guest at even a four or five star hotel the attention provided to pillows by staff is minimal. Why is it they will give you like half a dozen huge, gigantic thick pillows tossed randomly all over the bed? How about offering even just one sort of thin/regular pillow to those who like sleeping on their stomachs? Even sleeping on your back you end up in the morning with a bit of back pain due to the angle those pillows force you to sleep at.
Half the night is spent in punching the pillow with your fist to get it to comply (a joke can be made that pillows and women have that in common, but again, moving on. . .) yet that never works.
We spend a quarter to a third of our lives using a pillow yet the amount of time spend on making sure it is the right one is sometimes lacking.
What pillow do you prefer? Foam? Feather? Other? Do you love your pillow or do you have a sort of working relationship with it- it tolerates you and you it?
Fixed an embarrassing spelling error!
